Urban Logistics REIT wanted to streamline its ESG data management and reporting, bringing more of the process in-house while maintaining the quality, governance and independent assurance required for external disclosure.

The transition created an opportunity to strengthen the underlying dataset, simplify how information was collected and reported, and improve tenant participation through clearer communication around the purpose and value of ESG data. The ambition was to create a more efficient and robust reporting process that could continue to meet the expectations of investors, lenders and evolving ESG frameworks.
